You can't just extract a tar.bz2 to cygwin tree and expect it to work if 
you don't know what you are doing. Probably there are missing 
dependencies or post-install tasks to be done. Since GEdit belongs to 
gnome environment it's not in the default cygwin setup.exe tree, you 
should install it from cyports: http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/
